The more than 20,000 pages of Jeffrey Epstein emails released earlier this month by the House Oversight Committee are enough to prompt greater scrutiny of the convicted child sex offender and those around him, such as former Harvard president and OpenAI board member Larry Summers. Now, Luke Igel and Riley Walz have reformatted the source documents into a more familiar format for anyone copying a Gmail inbox to a website called “Gmail.”
A few weeks after the release of these files, the President signed the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which states that the Attorney General must make “all declassified records, documents, communications, and investigative materials in the possession of the Department of Justice publicly available in a searchable and downloadable format” within 30 days.
That doesn’t mean all remaining files will be released, as CNN points out. The language of the law allows information that “could jeopardize an active federal investigation or ongoing prosecution” to be temporarily exempted, but anything that is released can be very quickly sorted in this more easily scanned version.
